About the role
- It all started when engineer Fred Luddy wrote code that automated a tedious task for his coworker, Phyllis.
- Today, ServiceNow is the AI control tower for business reinvention.
- This leader will set a distinctive product visual direction, translate it into a scalable system, and help teams make complex enterprise software feel clear, coherent, modern, and unmistakably ServiceNow.
Responsibilities
- Create future-state concepts, reference experiences, and exemplars that make the visual direction tangible.
- Work with Design Systems, Product Design, Content Design, Accessibility, Localization, and Research to translate the visual language into scalable foundations, components, patterns, and guidance.
- Partner with Design Systems, Product Management and Engineering throughout the software development lifecycle so the creative direction can be applied effectively in shipped products.
- Define where consistency is essential, where variation creates value, and how teams can extend the system without creating a centralized bottleneck.
- Lead the strategy for AI-enabled creative exploration, prototyping, asset creation, system evolution, and evaluation, focusing on meaningful gains in range, speed, consistency, and quality.
- Partner with Brand and Marketing so the company expression and product experience tell a coherent story while remaining useful and native to interactive software.
- Lead, develop, and attract exceptional visual, motion, and multidisciplinary design talent.
- Build the culture, enablement, and shared critique practices that help product designers and distributed visual designers understand, apply, and continually raise the visual craft bar.
- Build a network of creative leaders and contributors across the business units who can extend the direction while maintaining coherence.
Requirements
- Experience participating in the complete product development lifecycle of web and/or software applications.
- Experience leading creative teams and partnering across a complex organization.
Nice to have
- 12+ years of experience in product design, visual design, experience design, creative direction, or a related field, including significant leadership experience shipping complex digital products.
- A portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual craft and creative leadership across shipped product experiences, not only brand campaigns or marketing communications.
- Experience defining or materially evolving a visual language across a complex, multi-product software portfolio.
- Demonstrated experience adopting AI-enabled creative tools and workflows and moving teams from isolated experimentation to sustained, responsible use at scale.
- Proven ability to influence senior executives and align multiple organizations without relying solely on reporting authority.
- Expert command of typography, color, composition, interaction, motion, and information hierarchy, with the judgment to apply them to dense and complex product workflows.
- Strong systems thinking and the ability to connect an inspiring creative idea to the practices and adoption mechanisms required to make it real at scale.
- Excellent communication, storytelling, facilitation, and critique skills, including the ability to make a direction compelling to executives and actionable for delivery teams.
Compensation
- $255k-$445k
Benefits
- Make accessibility intrinsic to the creative vision and visual foundations, partnering with Accessibility and Engineering to meet or exceed applicable standards, including WCAG 2.2 AA.
